What does the day look like?
The day starts at 06:00 by reviewing overnight intake volumes, walking the warehouse floor for health and safety compliance, and allocating shift labor against dispatch loads. Midday is spent tracking vehicle departure cut-offs for store deliveries, resolving damaged pallets, and handling cold-chain temperature deviations. Later hours involve SLA reviews with carriers, analyzing KPIs like OTIF (On-Time In-Full) and pick accuracy, and planning maintenance for forklifts and sortation conveyors. Key software includes Manhattan Associates Active WM, Blue Yonder, SAP EWM, SAP TM, SAP S/4HANA, and Power BI.
Only about 15% of the time matches the image of tracking routes on digital maps. The remaining 85% is hands-on operational troubleshooting: managing labor shortages, unjamming automated sorters, handling carrier claims, and meeting strict delivery deadlines. The role involves rotating shift patterns (early mornings, evenings, and seasonal peak night shifts) along with 24/7 on-call escalation duties for critical cold-chain failures.
